From the Microphany Dept:...I had a dream about someone I met years ago over in North Hollywood, back when I first moved to LA from the East Coast, I used to see him at the gym every day and it turned out that he was an out of work actor, or between gigs, as they say around here...the last time I spoke with him, he told me to be weary of the "Dream Killers", you know, people who seem to want to thwart you at every turn, just stick with your craft and the world will turn...I've seen my man on several popular commercials since then, so it seems to be working for him...
...I've been feeling the heat with this editorial crap and then I woke up last night and just typed this up: every once in a while creative types get spot-checked on why we continue to do what we do...believe me, it's hard sometimes and the whole "peaks and valleys" mindset gets called on the carpet, fair weather friends will look for an easy out as they want it easy....I don't let that sway me, though. I think it's some kind of cosmic test, personally, to see if you really stand by your beliefs or if you're just another poseur waiting for ...it takes real minerals to stick to your convictions, son.... and even though I've been laughed at, had my motives questioned and outright dismissed in the past, I still think that when it all goes down and the trumpets start blaring, I'll be able to crack a wide smile knowingly-- comforted by the fact that I kept on shooting for where I wanted to be...can you say the same? You feel up to the challenge of really being who you is? If the answer to my query is a grudging "no", well, what in the hell are you waiting for? Get *BUSY*, see how far your rabbit hole goes because time waits for no one but before you do, check this out:
